Malachi 1

1 The burden of the word of Jehovah to Israel by Malachi.

Tā Kunga vārda spriedums par Israēli caur Malahiju.

2 I have loved you, says Jehovah. Yet ye say, How have thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother, says Jehovah. Yet I loved Jacob,

Es jūs esmu mīlējis, saka Tas Kungs; bet jūs sakāt: kā Tu mūs esi mīlējis? Vai Ēsavs nav Jēkabam brālis? Saka Tas Kungs; tomēr Es Jēkabu mīlēju

3 but Esau I regarded inferior, and made his mountains a desolation, and gave his heritage to the jackals of the wilderness.

Un Ēsavu Es ienīdēju un viņa kalnus darīju par posta vietu un viņa mantas tiesu priekš šakāļiem tuksnesī.

4 Whereas Edom says, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places, thus says Jehovah of hosts: They shall build, but I will throw down, and men shall call them the border of wickedness, and the people against whom Jehovah has indignation forever.

Un jebšu Edoms sacītu: mēs esam salauzti, tomēr tās posta vietas atkal gribam uztaisīt, - tad Tas Kungs Cebaot saka tā: tie uztaisīs, bet Es noārdīšu, un tos nosauks par bezdievības robežām un par ļaudīm, par ko Tas Kungs mūžīgi dusmo.

5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, Jehovah be magnified beyond the border of Israel.

Un jūsu acis to redzēs, un jūs sacīsiet: Tas Kungs pagodināsies pāri pār Israēla robežām. -

6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is my honor? And if I am a master, where is my fear? says Jehovah of hosts to you, O priests, who despise my name. And ye say, How have we despised thy name?

Dēlam būs godāt savu tēvu, un kalpam savu kungu. Ja Es esmu Tēvs, kur ir Mans gods? Un ja Es esmu Kungs, kur ir Mana bijāšana? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot uz jums priesteriem, Mana Vārda nicinātajiem; bet jūs sakāt: kā tad mēs nicinājam Tavu Vārdu?

7 Ye offer polluted bread upon my altar. And ye say, How have we polluted thee? In that ye say, The table of Jehovah is contemptible.

Jūs nesat uz Manu altāri sagānītu maizi. Tad jūs sakāt: ar ko mēs Tevi sagānījām? Ar to, ka jūs sakāt: Tā Kunga galds nav cienījams.

8 And when ye offer the blind for sacrifice, ye say, It is no evil! and when ye offer the lame and sick, It is no evil! Present it now to thy governor. Will he be pleased with thee, or will he accept thy person? says Jehovah of hosts.

Jo kad jūs ko aklu atnesat upurēt, tad tas jums nav nelabs, un ja jūs ko tizlu vai vāju atnesat, tad tas nav nelabs. Atnesat to jel savam valdītājam, vai viņam pie tevis būs labs prāts, jeb vai viņš tavu vaigu žēlīgi uzlūkos? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.

9 Ye say, And now, I pray you, entreat the favor of God, that he may be gracious to us; this has been by your means. Will he accept any of your persons? says Jehovah of hosts.

Nu tad pielūdziet jel Dieva vaigu, lai Viņš mums ir žēlīgs. No jūsu rokas tas noticis: vai tad Viņš jūsu vaigu žēlīgi uzskatīs? saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.

10 Oh that there was among you who would shut the doors, that ye might not kindle my altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says Jehovah of hosts, nor will I accept an offering at your hand.

Kaut jel kāds būtu jūsu starpā, kas durvis aizslēdz, lai jūs velti uguni neiededzinājāt uz Mana altāra; Man nav labs prāts pie jums, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, un tas upuris no jūsu rokām Man nepatīk.

11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the same, my name is great among the Gentiles. And in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name is great among the Gentiles, says Jehovah of hosts.

Jo no saules uzlēkšanas līdz noiešanai Mans Vārds ir paaugstināts starp tautām, un ikkatrā vietā Manam Vārdam top kvēpināts un šķīsts upuris atnests. Jo Mans Vārds ir liels starp tautām, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot.

12 But ye profane it, in that ye say, The table of Jehovah is polluted. And the fruit of it, even its food, is contemptible.

Bet jūs to sagānat, sacīdami: Tā Kunga galds, tas ir sagānīts, un viņa ienākumu riebj baudīt.

13 Ye also say, Behold, what a weariness it is! And ye have sniffed at it, says Jehovah of hosts. And ye have brought that which was taken by violence, and the lame, and the sick. Thus ye bring the offering. Should I accept this at your hand? says Jehovah.

Un jūs sakāt: redzi, kāds grūtums! Un nebēdājat par to, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot, jūs atnesat, kas ir laupīts, un kas tizls un vājš, un tā upurējat upuri. Vai tas Man var patikt no jūsu rokas? saka Tas Kungs.

14 But cursed be the deceiver, who has in his flock a male, and vows, and sacrifices to the Lord a blemished thing. For I am a great King, says Jehovah of hosts, and my name is feared among the Gentiles.

Nolādēts tas blēdis, kam savā ganāma pulkā ir auniņš, un kas sola un upurē Tam Kungam ko maitātu! Jo Es esmu liels Ķēniņš, saka Tas Kungs Cebaot: un Mans Vārds ir bijājams starp tautām.
